Grass?!?, a photo from South Australia, West

Photographer's Note

Note this golf course- It must be the driest in the world. It is located in coober pedy which is the best place in the world to search for opals. There is nothing much in this town than lots of holes in the ground, but it sure is an expereince going to sleep underground in an old mine become backpackers. Try visiting the underground church, bookshop or homes. Do you see any green?

That's a good photo Jon, I like it - I can't believe no one else has made comments - deserves better! Good spot.

No golf for me, thanks. I opened this for the composition - I love that short shadow on the slope!

Ha, ha, ha. I love this funny photo. Well seen and well done. Seeing here the "green" I wonder how a bunker can be in this golf course. As golf player I take this one to my favorites.

Nice shot Jonathan;

I like the touch of humour in your shot. I've seen more then a few discovery channel episodes on Coober Pedy, as well as an episode of the Amazing Race. Although I have to admit, this one isn't on my "Must Visit" list...
Cheers mate,

Well seen. I hope you didn't damage any grass seed in taking this picture! I think that capturing these views on life just adds a bit a light relief to the end of the day when you come across an image like this. TFS

That's very funny. Coober Pedy is also on my list of places to go but won't be playing any golf!

Interesting shot, nice composition!

Hmmm, not really. Maybe it is underground too? Very well seen! I like the shot for its composition and also the sky here looks very nice. I have never even been close to Australia but maybe one day I will visit this funny place too ;)
